Renewable Infrastructure Debt
An introduction to Renewable Infrastructure Debt

The energy transition is ongoing and there is a structural shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The European Union aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 (EU Green Deal) and the growth of European renewable energy is supported by strong political support. Wind and solar are two key investable renewable energy technologies in Europe, where offshore wind offers the biggest scalable opportunity. Potential new technologies include battery storage, hydrogen and floating offshore wind. 

At Aegon AM we focus on renewable infra debt loans with an investment grade risk profile, landmark projects from top tier sponsors and lending alongside global project finance banks. In this video, Bas Kragten, Head of Private ABS & Infrastructure, provides an overview of the Renewable Infrastructure Debt strategy.

SFDR & EU Taxonomy

The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) seeks to make the sustainability profiles of EU-domiciled investment funds more comparable and transparent. Within this context, an Article 9 product is defined as ‘a fund that has sustainable investments at the core of its offering’. When defining an environmental objective, the fund should make use of the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities.

Aegon AM’s Renewable Infra Debt Fund:

  • Disclose under article 9 SFDR;

  • Provides debt financing to renewable energy generation and storage. With this the fund makes a direct contribution towards climate change mitigation;

  • Includes the DNSH-principle (a positive contribution to one environmental objective cannot be detrimental to another) while ensuring that minimum social safeguards and good governance practices are met;

  • Will comply with all relevant mandatory PAI reporting, in both pre-contractual and periodic disclosures.
